Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane is preparing to face his old team, Mamelodi Sundowns, in the Caf Champions League.In a measure of how seriously Al Ahly are taking their Caf Champions League Group A matchup against Mamelodi Sundowns, the club are requesting permission to have supporters in Al Salam Stadium in Cairo on Saturday.
“We are speaking with Caf and the [Egyptian] security authorities to request fan attendance in the Al Ahly and Sundowns match,” Ahly executive director Saad Shalaby told ONTime Sport TV, via Kingfut.com. The Cairo giants’ start in the Champions League was delayed by winning bronze at the Fifa Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi, and they have played one match, drawing 0-0 away against Al-Hilal on Friday.
Influential centreback Ayman Ashraf, though, has suffered a minor knee injury and was left out of Mosimane's squad to face 15th-placed Misr Lel Makkasa in the Egyptian Premier League at Al Salam Stadium on Tuesday night.
